OK Texans this is the Bill to Support.

[Calaveras Slim]

Uuugggggggggg.

Ya! Uuugggggggg!!!!!!


Yep, just sittin here thinkin. Dems are gonna try amendments to delay and stall. And to get it to work they have to sweeten the pot so some Republicans will fall for it and vote for the amendment.

Our only chance is if the Republicans vote to table all the amendments from the get go and get the vote done.

Looks like the Campus Carry bill will hit the House floor tomorrow, Tuesday

Kinda hard for this country bumpkin to understand this stuff, but it peers that we are watching SB11. Campus Carry. Out of House committee and on to the House floor.

Trying to figure out when open carry hits the floor. Beyond me

 

[RobzGuns]

With HB 910 so close to being a done deal, I wouldn't be surprised to hear of SB 17 being dropped completely.

SB 11's (Campus Carry) House Companion Bill is HB 937 and it doesn't look like it's going to be discussed on the House Floor this term at all.

Strange alliances formed in the Senate. Dems agreeing with a provision to keep LEO's from stopping folks OCing, Repubs not down with that.

[RobzGuns]

Yeah... That's the Senate amendment that's causing the Bill to need to go back to the House for another vote.

Even though it's a decent addition... If not for that late amendment, the Bill would already be on the Gov's desk, waiting for him to sign.

 

[Calaveras Slim]

Both HB910 and SB11 hit the house floor for a vote today.

 

[RobzGuns]

If they could handle both today, that'd be great.
But if not... I hope they finish up HB910, so it can get signed.

I'm not a Texan however when it comes to the 2nd Amendment there is no "but", you either support the right to keep AND bear arms or you don't.

People carrying guns shouldn't worry you no matter who they are, it's what they do with them that would or would not be the issue. But that part aside, the people who you are concerned about will not give a rats patoot about any laws requiring them to get a permit.

You don't live on the border with Mexico do you? I do, and allowing unlicensed people to carry concealed or open IMO is not a good idea, at least here on the border. I have a Tx CHL and if OC passes I'm still keeping my Shield 40 concealed.

The bad guys will always be 1 step ahead of you no matter what, and that one & only element of surprise on your part, your concealed firearm is your only ally.

To allow unlicensed carry on the border with mexico is stupid & dangerous IMO. Now HB910 has my full support however.

I doubt they are smart enough to try that. Also,I think there should be a limit of how many "changes"can be made per bill. A way to stop nonsense--let itfinally pass--then once law--if need be?then change it.

I aint holding my breath.

Cant due to having asthema.

 

[RobzGuns]

SB11 is on the calendar for about 2:20 PM. I can't find an estimated time for HB910.
Someone mentioned (in the live feed) that they may be going until Midnight tonight?

For anyone wanting to listen in: 84th Legislative Session - May 26th, 2015

The bill out of the senate has 4 different words that what the house bill had.

The bill went to conference and has 2 day (48 hours) to be sent back to the full house.

Our only chance is if the conference accepts the bill as written and sent back to the house. The amendment that is causing all the trouble is the one that the C.O.P. in Austin is up in arms about.

The antis have really no other choice. Put up or shut up.

However, time is running out

Well, those Chiefs of Police that oppose that amendment,
isn't going to let a lit'l thing like 4th Amendment Rights
guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, probable cause, and maybe that
Terry v. Ohio thing, get it their way of makin' us all safer.

The way I see it, the real reasoning behind their objection is they're getting their toes stepped on a bit....They's don't really want any one open carrying except those with a badge, by way of occupation or political favor.

Bye Golly, they's gotta see them thar carry papers or bust!!!



Or, Shoot low Sheriff, they're ridin' Shetlands...........

I watched enough of their dog and pony show. Don't see any
reason to vote if its between those who are opposed and those
who want to pretend like they are for it. Looks to me like
new blood is needed in both parties.
